Speed Graphic Film and Video | The Los Angeles Area, 1966 @SpeedGraphicFilmVideo | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This video is a snapshot of a time and a place--the Los Angeles area in the spring of 1966. It uses documentary film shot by the USIA in Los Angeles and the surrounding area, including Hollywood, Burbank and the UCLA campus. For music, of course, the Beach Boys' California Girls is a perfect fit.
For those of us who remember the mid-60's, this is like a time capsule--the architecture, the cars, the clothes and hair were very specific to that time. Benjamin Braddock, from The Graduate, would feel right at home.
